everyone watched in disbelief as jiang yiming left. they were all too familiar with his character—he wasn’t someone to tolerate such blatant provocation from long chen. yet, he had gone without a fight, leaving the crowd perplexed.
long chen, however, understood the situation perfectly. jiang yiming had only come to probe him, not to engage in an all-out battle with tianyu city. his primary goal was to assess whether long chen had the power to disrupt his plans.
despite failing to gauge long chen’s full strength, jiang yiming had seen enough. long chen's youthful appearance and cultivation base were real, and his powerful blood qi alone had made jiang yiming cautious. as a result, he directly brought his people away, though his departure left tianyu city’s people uneasy. they sensed that a storm was brewing.
after this disturbance, everyone returned to tianyu city. chu he returned to his own residence and entered seclusion, intent on refining the precious pill long chen had given him. chu he was determined to make the most of it, not wanting to waste even a trace of its medicinal effects.
meanwhile, long chen found himself with some free time. chu he had arranged for him to stay in the best cultivation room available. however, after a day of cultivation, long chen still couldn’t figure out the connection between his eternal runes and his root qi.
knowing that a large battle could erupt at any moment, long chen decided to explore the city instead of remaining in seclusion. with nothing else to do, he planned to revisit the scripture pavilion—not for the secret arts, but to learn more about tianyu city’s history.
as soon as he appeared, a group of people set their sights on him. they were all young disciples—peak geniuses in tianyu city, led by none other than liao yong. they quickly blocked long chen's path, and the commotion drew the attention of others in the area.
“liao yong, what are you trying to do this time?!” several disciples shouted angrily. liao yang had previously provoked long chen, drawing their ire. the female disciples, in particular, viewed long chen as a younger brother in need of protection.
seeing liao yong targeting long chen again with an entire gang of people, the female disciples were furious. this was beyond simple bullying—if liao yong disliked long chen, he could have just ignored him. instead, he seemed intent on causing trouble.
ignoring the protests, liao yong stepped forward, pointing at long chen. “what are you up to? first, you offend the gold lion race, and now you provoke the stone spirit race. are you trying to bring disaster upon tianyu city?”
li yunhua was furious. “that’s absurd! no one would agree to such an insult!”
a soulsearch was the greatest insult to an expert. most of them would rather die than accept such a humiliation.
“soulsearches aren’t conducted just because you ask,” chi feng said dismissively. “don’t be ridiculous.”
“if you refuse to uphold justice, then under the laws of tianyu city, i challenge him to battle! if he wins, he can stay, and i will leave tianyu city. if i win, he must immediately leave before he causes calamity for us! do you dare to accept?!” shouted liao yong.
chi feng turned to long chen. “do you accept?”
long chen almost pissed himself out of embarrassment for their terrible acting. could it even be called acting at this point?
“long chen, don’t fall for this. they want to kill you. just don’t agree, and wait for the patriarch to come out of seclusion,” said li yunhua immediately.
“silence! this isn’t a place for you to speak!” chi feng snapped, his sudden hostility startling her into stepping back.
“hey, after getting so old, you’re really going to shout violently at a girl? do you have no upbringing?”
long chen finally stepped forward, placing himself in front of li yunhua. he glanced at chi feng and liao yong with a cold smile.
“you want to test my power? alright, let’s do it!”
